Phase II didn't change much from Phase I. Instead of Arms you swap in Chest, Shoulders & Triceps which basically means an hour of push-ups. The first week I did it in the morning and as with all my morning work outs it was...meh. This past week I did it after dance class and tried to bring it...consequently I was sore for 3 whole days after. I don't even attempt this video from my toes, there is no way I'll do more than a couple from my toes so I try for high reps on my knees instead.
Week 6 also was the first week I skipped a day. I ended up not sleeping Sunday-Monday so I didn't exercise on Monday. I feel guilty about this, which is totally irrational, things happen...do your best forget the rest. There is no guilt in P90X if you're doing your best.
Overall I've lost 9lbs in 6 weeks and my hips dropped in inches (Finally). My arms look like they are shaping up nicely and really overall I like the mix of workouts. I still don't care for the flow of YogaX, but I'll tell you what I sleep the best after it, I sleep long and hard and it feels great.
Weeks 9 and 10 I'll be in Mexico, and I'd really like to keep up with the exercise. I understand I'll be on vacation and probably doing a crap ton of swimming, but it isn't the same. Also I have a business trip RIGHT after getting back from Mexico and I know I won't exercise on the business trip. I always try, and my feet usually hurt so badly that I just can't. This is what happens when you are forced to stand for 9-10hrs a day, and I really would be ok if I typically stood around for several hours, but I don't.
Week 9, 10, 11 and 12 have a lot more sculpting/pull-ups which I won't have a pull up bar in Mexico and I'm not entirely certain about wrapping the resistance bands around the hinge of a door. *sigh* so we'll see, I'll have to pack all the resistance bands and figure it out.
